In a statement today, Sport Wales, the organisation responsible for developing and promoting sport across Wales, released a statement on the Welsh team's decision to travel to Delhi.

The participation of the team in India next week had been placed in doubt after a bridge collapse and problems with the weighlifting arena in the host city were added to concerns about the accomodation.

"We are delighted that Team Wales have received the assurances that they were looking for in order to compete in the Commonwealth Games.

We know how much this means to all our athletes heading out there as an opportunity to compete in the Welsh jersey.

We would like to pay tribute to the work of the advance party in Delhi in what has been a difficult week for them. We look forward to now cheering on our athletes as they look to bring home medals for Wales"
